Interaction between soybean growth stage and pollinator abundance
Description
Data were collected to explore the impacts of added pollinator habitat planted adjacent or far away from soybean fields on the bee community and soybean yield (see Levenson, Hannah K; Sharp, April E; Tarpy, David R (2022), “Bee community metrics in different field types”, Mendeley Data, V1, doi: 10.17632/tfdcmfpwz9.1). This dataset includes information on soybean growth stage and the resulting bee abundance.

Steps to reproduce
Bees were documented at 8 sites across North Carolina using two survey methods: visual surveys and netting surveys. Both surveys were used for a total of 30 minutes and repeated twice per day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, to account for temporal variation. Surveys were conducted 2-3 times across the soybean bloom period. (see Levenson, Hannah K; Sharp, April E; Tarpy, David R (2022), “Bee community metrics in different field types”, Mendeley Data, V1, doi: 10.17632/tfdcmfpwz9.1).
